💕😌 2024 Masking Challenge 😌💖

[eshoe]

Welcome to the 2024 Masking Challenge! 

This year is going to be a little different - simplified. Easy. Every month will have a new theme, and that's it. Feel free to join in whenever and wherever. Most importantly - have fun!

Spring Fling - Baskets and bouquets, showers of much-anticipated rain...this month's focus is herbal and floral sensory delights 💮

Spoiler

January	Fresh Starts - Time for a re-set, or morning masking? However you see it, this month is all about new beginnings.
February	Winter Love - Whether it's a mask you adore, or something extra-special to care for dry winter skin, this month is for some soothing TLC.
March	March Madness - Competition is in the air! Find a $ dupe of a $$$ mask that is share-worthy? Or find a dupe that works even better than the original? Details, please!
April	Spring Fling - Baskets and bouquets, showers of much-anticipated rain...this month's focus is herbal and floral sensory delights.
May	Dew Drops - May Day lore says to wash your face in the dew you collect in the morning of the first day of May for radiant skin. This month is for absorbing all of that good-for-you H2O.
June	Summer Sunshine - Ice cream, sunglasses, SPF, check! Once the sun is down (or before it's up), extra care is most necessary. How do you give your skin cooling repair?

Thank you @Aaliaa for starting this thread, and giving us a place to share our love for masks💗

Love that you and your husband did this together, @ather! I bought mine some foot masks for Father’s Day one year and they generated zero interest 😂 

[lmaster]

That's so sweet @ather couples that mask together... Lol 😉

S is for Sorry for My Skin and Steambase

Spoiler

the CT Skin Goddess mask is a fave of mine. Just a great clay mask for those with dry skin. Scented heavily like baby powder

I tried out the Sorry for mu Skin Calendula mask. This mask had a fairly generic scent and was well saturated. Fit was better than average. My skin always loves Calendula products and this was no exception. My skin very super hydrated and calmed after I used it. There was no tacky feeling after use - I would definitely use again! 

I also tried out the Steambase eye mask from which I believe @eshoe sent. This was very interesting! Once on the little eye packets heated up kind of like one of the hot packets for your hands in the cold. But it was not too hot for the delicate eye area. It has ear pieces to secure it on but they were very comfortable and not right. The smell was a bit strong. Overall, these were super relaxing and I felt like my eyes looked less puffy after I used them!

@Kim888  Sounds like a great masking session! Love those eye masks, they're so relaxing! Glad you enjoyed everything! 😃

[eshoe]

@Kim888 thank you for mentioning calendula, such a great ingredient and I forget to seek it out!

[lmaster]

Both masks sound great!! @Kim888 

[ather]

@Kim888  Sounds like a great masking night!! I enjoy the steam masks as well!

[SportyGirly125]

@Kim888 I love those eye mask too!  @eshoe gave me some for my birthday and I have it on my list to buy more.

Final catchup from last week - this Sunday morning and evening maskings involved the adorable Rilakkuma, both of which I've used before, making it a twofer masking sesh for my last masks from last week. Thank you @Shosh85! It's always a lot of fun to see everyone's best / cutest printed masks. 😍

Using the Rilakkuma Under Eye Recovery Mask in the morning helps me to look more awake. These are lightweight, thin and soft, making them great to wear on their own or under a sheet mask. The design on these are super cute any time of the day.

Megrhythm must have put out some special, limited edition steam eye masks in collaboration with Rilakkuma. Like other Megrhythm Gentle Steam Eye Masks, these made for some fabulous TLC for tired eyes, and in keeping with my experience with steam eye masks, helped me relax and gently drift off to sleep. The designs on the packaging and the outer layer of the mask are adorable and I hope I stumble upon these again. [NOTE: Both the under eye and steam eye masks are manufactured by Japanese companies that for the most part include the manufacture date (not expiration date) on their products.]

@itsfi - these are adorable!

[ather]

@itsfi  These are definitely the cutest ever!!! What sent was the steam mask! 

[itsfi]

Aren't they adorable @ather! 😍 If I didn't already loooove these steam eye masks before, I'd definitely would now. This version didn't have a scent, but I know the brand has the following scents in their regular line - yuzu, chamomile, lavender and rose, as well as an unscented version. I find the yuzu to be the strongest. 

[Kim888]

@itsfi @How cute are those eye masks! And awesome they worked well! I tried out my first steam based  eye mask this week and I was also

impressed! 

[itsfi]

@Kim888, yay! 😃 That’s great that you’ve got to try a steam eye mask. They’re so good, aren’t they? They’re a hit with many folks on BIC!

[Samtian]

@itsfi Oh those are so cute! And sound nice!

[itsfi]

@Samtian, I couldn't resist picking up those steam eye masks; it was the last box. I figure I use them a good amount so they won't just be sitting here. I love that the under eye masks work too and are not just cute to look at. 

[Samtian]

@itsfi Definitely! I'm going to have to keep an eye out for steam masks, I don't think I've seen any before. 

[Shosh85]

@itsfi  Oh my goodness, what a seriously adorable masking session! That little bear is sooo cute! 😍🐻

I LOVE those steam eye masks, but I have never seen this Rilakkuma version! So fun!  Glad to hear you enjoyed these! 😃

[itsfi]

@Shosh85, apparently, the brand has done a couple of collaborations with different brands, resulting in some other printed designs. Who knew?!! These steam eye masks are seriously so good!

This was from last week - I must post it now before I completely forget it. 

Creme Shop Slow Down, Skin Sloth Mask (Rose). I really should have written some notes on this one, because I used it several days ago and it's difficult to remember. I feel like it must have smelled like rose, but I don't actually remember too strong of a scent. The fit was actually a great deal better than most Creme Shop masks for me - perhaps the animated line fits my faced better? The main issue was that the chin kind of just hung down. 

I found the effects to be quite nice. My skin seemed soft and hydrated and bouncy.

@PrettyPaint - omg, so adorable!
